This bill states
the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) may enter into contracts
with organizations representing individuals with a brain injury and their
families, bringing together state and national expertise to provide core
brain injury support for underserved populations of individuals with an
acquired brain injury. These new contracts, if entered into by the DHHS, must
be provided within the limits of available DHHS resources, so no new
appropriations will be made to the DHHS. However, any new contracts will
reduce the resources of the DHHS which could lead to other current services
receiving less funding. |
